Small/wide Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS/WAXS)

Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) is an analytical technique giving access to information about the structure of materials at the nano- and meso-scale. Measurements can be made on almost any sample, but most often is used for soft matter and nanostructured materials. SAXS is a primary characterization tool for polymers, surfactants, colloids, proteins, porous media, nanoparticles and nanocomposites.

SAXS can be performed on samples in a dynamic or controlled environment, such as temperature, stress, humidity, pressure, concentration, in order to understand the link between structure and function or response.
